Meet the Green Greeks reps!

Green Greeks is comprised of Green Greek-representatives from each house and the Greek-wide sustainability coordinators who supervise their efforts. The goals of a Green Greek-rep include establishing behaviors that aim to lower the carbon footprint, energy usage, and wasteful tendencies of their house and active members. Becoming a Green Greeks Representative is easy and it is always recruiting season!
